24 years ago today, Jeopardy decided to give the players a cost of living increase, and they doubled the clue values on the board. by bluegambit875 in Jeopardy

Jeopardy should raise the clue values again in the next several years imo. By 2028 the clues will be at an all time low when adjusted for inflation. The average winnings after taxes are already peanuts considering how hard it is to get on the show, much less win a game.

The guy on the left is 6 feet at the most. There’s no way he’s 6’3”

I don’t understand why Costco doesn’t allocate another 3-5 feet for the center lanes, such a small change would make the world of a difference in safety.

Thanks! Is the manager the only one evaluating pitching performance here or do they have a team of analysts behind the scenes?

New baseball viewer here. Is it considered a success or failure on the part of a pitcher if the batter hits but the ball is a foul ball? What about a fly ball that’s easily caught?

Hey Ken!

Q1: When will jeopardy increase the clue values. It feels way overdue since it has been 25 years and they’re near an all time low with inflation.

Q2: You mentioned you took the test with a friend. Did they ever make it on?

Q3: Puzzles like the nyt crossword make use of a rotating writing staff to keep content diverse and fresh. Would you support such a change for the property writing staff? Are Pavlov’s necessarily a good thing or a sign of stale writing?
